Practice Question
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who is 3 days postpartum about her infant's circumcision using a Gomco clamp. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"l will apply petrolatum to his penis with each diaper change."
Rationale:
🔹After a Gomco clamp circumcision, the penile glans is exposed and can easily adhere to the diaper, causing pain, bleeding, or tissue trauma.
🔹Applying petrolatum jelly (Vaseline) with each diaper change acts as a moisture barrier, preventing friction and protecting the healing tissue.
🔹The area should be kept clean and dry, and the diaper placed loosely to promote airflow and comfort.
🔹A yellowish exudate or crust forms naturally within 24–48 hours and indicates normal healing, not infection.
🔹Full healing typically occurs within 7 to 10 days, during which gentle care and monitoring for signs of infection are essential.
